Description

Sky was not at its (urban) best: there was thin clouds before I started taking pics and thin clouds made me end the session and discard about half an hour worth of subexposures.
So the final result is the product also of these constraints.
Also, in hindsight, it would have been better to take 60s subs at 100 gain rather than 30s subs at 200 gain.

One can also see the nebula Sh2-247 below the Monkey Head nebula.

Title: Less stretched version

Description: Less nebulosity but perhaps overall a bit more "gentle" or "subtle".
